91Ӱ�� University of Virginia Receives Lilly Endowment Pathways for Tomorrow Grant

91Ӱ�� University of Virginia (91Ӱ��) has received a grant of $887,040 from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help establish the Support for Developing Next-Generation Spiritual Leaders for Immigrant Churches in the DC Metropolitan Area.

The program is being funded through Lilly Endowment’s Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative, which is intended to help theological schools across the United States and Canada strengthen their educational and financial capacities to prepare and support pastoral leaders for Christian congregations—both now and into the future.

Through this initiative, 91Ӱ�� will develop a comprehensive model of spiritual intelligence (SI)- based leadership formation that equips emerging and current leaders within immigrant churches to bridge generational, cultural, and linguistic divides. The grant will enable 91Ӱ�� to enhance its seminary curriculum, strengthen mentored ministry partnerships with local immigrant churches, and provide continuing education programs for pastors and lay leaders.

“This generous grant affirms 91Ӱ��’s long-standing commitment to serve the diverse body of Christ,” said 91Ӱ��’s project leadership team. “Our vision is to cultivate spiritually intelligent leaders who can navigate today’s multicultural realities and renew the vitality of immigrant congregations across generations.”

91Ӱ�� is one of 163 theological schools that have received grants since 2021 through the Pathways Initiative. Together, these schools serve a broad spectrum of Christian traditions in the U.S. and Canada. They are affiliated with evangelical, mainline Protestant, nondenominational, Pentecostal, Orthodox, Catholic, Black church, Latino, Asian American, Indigenous, and historic peace church traditions.

“Theological schools have long played a central role for most denominations and church networks in preparing and supporting pastoral leaders who guide congregations,” said Christopher L. Coble, the Endowment’s vice president for religion. “These schools are paying close attention to the challenges churches are facing today and will face in the foreseeable future. The grants will help these schools engage in wide-ranging, innovative efforts to adapt their educational programs and build their financial capacities so they can better prepare pastors and lay ministers to effectively lead the congregations they will serve in the future.”

About Lilly Endowment Inc.
Lilly Endowment Inc. is a private foundation created in 1937 by J.K. Lilly Sr. and his sons Eli and J.K. Jr. through gifts of stock in their pharmaceutical business, Eli Lilly and Company.

In keeping with the founders’ wishes, the Endowment supports the causes of community development, education, and religion, with a special commitment to its hometown, Indianapolis, and home state, Indiana. A principal aim of the Endowment’s religion grantmaking is to deepen and enrich the lives of Christians in the United States—primarily by supporting efforts that enhance the vitality of congregations and strengthen the pastoral and lay leadership of Christian communities. The Endowment also seeks to improve public understanding of about religion and lift up in fair, accurate and balanced ways the roles that people of all faiths and various religious communities play in the United State and around the globe traditions in the United States and across the globe.

1098-T FAQS

Ju Hee Kim — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:57:19 +0000

What is a 1098-T?

The 1098-T form is used by eligible educational institutions to report information about their students to the IRS. This form is informational only. It serves to alert students that they may be eligible for federal income tax education credits. It should not be considered as tax opinion or advice. While it is a good starting point, the 1098-T, as designed and regulated by the IRS, does not contain all of the information needed to claim a tax credit. There is no IRS requirement that you must claim the tuition and fees deduction or an education credit. Claiming education tax benefits is a voluntary decision for those who may qualify.

What am I supposed to do with the 1098-T form?

Keep it for your records. Since the University sends your 1098-T information to the IRS, there is no need to attach a copy of the form to your tax return. Consult with your tax advisor to determine if you may claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) or the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC).

91Ӱ�� is not required to issue a Form 1098-T to:

Nonresident alien students, unless requested by the student.
U.S. citizen, resident alien and nonresident alien students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are entirely waived or paid entirely with scholarships or grants.
Students whose tuition and fees payments were only for non-credit courses, even if the student is otherwise enrolled in 91Ӱ��’s degree program.
Students whose qualified tuition and related expenses are covered by a formal billing arrangement between the college and student’s employer or a government entity.
International (foreign) students who are not U.S. residents for tax purposes and who do not have a Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on record with the college.
Students classified as non-resident aliens who do not have a Social Security Number or ITIN on record with the college.
If you paid for your enrollment fees but dropped all your classes and received a refund during the calendar year, then you would not receive a Form 1098-T.
If your address on record is out of date or you did not request address change form, your Form 1098-T may have been returned to the University.

What if I forgot to request 1098-T for previous years??
The 1098-T is issued on year-by-year basis. 91Ӱ�� cannot issue 1098-T for previous years.

Can I get a copy (photocopy) of 1098-T for previous years?
No. As we mentioned above that the 1098-T is issued on year by year basis. Therefore, 91Ӱ�� cannot issue a copy of 1098-T for previous years.

What is the deadline to request the 1098-T form for tax year?
The deadline to request 1098-T form is on December 31st each year. The annual deadline for 91Ӱ�� to file the required tax information electronically is January 31, although data may be transmitted earlier as circumstances allow.

WHY IS MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SSN) OR INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER IDENTIFICAITON NUMBER (ITIN) REQUIRED FOR THE 1098-T TAX FORM?

Federal regulations require students to furnish their Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for federal reporting requirements. These requirements apply to any student, regardless of whether the student seeks or intends to seek the American Opportunity Tax Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit.
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that your information is accurate by December 31, 2025.
A student who does not provide their SSN or ITIN upon request by the educational institution can be subject to a fine imposed by the IRS.

The name on the 1098-T incorrect or has been changed, how can I get it corrected?
To correct or change the student’s name, a student will need to visit registrar office or upload the change request form (update personal information) on Mywuv student portal. Please bring or upload one of the following documents:

Marriage Certificate
Divorce Certificate
Legal Name Change
Original Certificate of Citizenship
Driver License or other government-issued photo ID

What if I think the information on the Form 1098-T is incorrect?
If the student believes the information provided is incorrect, you can send your inquiry via email to student-accounts@wuv.edu. Please include your name and student ID number.

What if I have more questions?
You may contact our Student Account in Finance Office at 703-333-5904 (ext. 222, 369)
